HOSE SUPPOBTER.

Application filed December 10. 1921. Serial No. 521,331.

To aZZ whom it concern:

Be it known that I, Louise F. DION, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the countyof New York full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to hose supporters and has for its object toprovide improved means for attaching the supporter to the hose in suchmanner that the same will not fallloose therefrom. 7

Another object. of the invention is the provision of novel .means forattaching the supporter to thehose whereby the hose is not damaged bythe attaching means even when. applied to the thinnest silk.

Astill further object of the invention is the use of a freely movablebutton which not only permits of the use of a larger button but alsogreatly facilitates the operation of attaching and detaching thesupsupporter in use. i

porter and hose. v 25 Other objects and'advantages of the invention willbe apparent from the following description when taken in connection withthe accompanying drawing, in which, i y

Figure l is a front elevation of the hose Figure 2 is a longitudinalsection through the supporter and a portion of the hose.

Figure 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the locking button andattaching means therefor.

Figure 4 is a horizontal section showing the hose locked in place, and,

Figure 5 is a sectional view showing a modified form of button.

Referring to the drawing more in detail, the numeral 1 designated theusual adjustable strap attached to the corset and carrying means at itslower end for readily attaching the same to the upper end of the hoseindicated by the numeral 2. The membet-3, which is composed of twometallic loops 4 and 5 pivoted in the sleeve 6, is es cured to the strap1 by threading the same through the upper loop L The lower loop 5 is.tapered downwardly for co-operation piece of Chinese money or a buttonhaving a rearwardly extending shank may be used if desired. In Figure 5I have shown a I button 7 having a cross bar 10 below the surface of thebutton in order that the attaching means may lie flushtherewith.

In order to hold the button? in proper relation with. respect to theloop 5 and also to allow a free movement of the button in all directionsto facilitate attachment to the hose, I have devised the cord 8 which isthreaded through the holes of the button and then looped over the sleeve6. The ends of the cord 8 are secured by means of the windmgs 9ofthreads or the like. By thus securing the ends of the cord thesuspension means is materially stiffened, thereby facilitating themanipulation of the button.

In operation, the upper portion of the hose or other garment to besupported is placed over the button and this portion of the garment andthe button is inserted into the loop 5, and the garment is therebysecurely held. It should be here noted that by means of the flexibleconnection between the button 7 and loop 5, the button may turn in anydirection thereby permitting a much larger button to be used since itmay be turned edgewise and passed throughthe loop 5.

In accordance with the patent statutes T have described what I nowbelieve to be the best embodiment of the invention, but I do not wish tobe understood thereby as limiting myself or the scope of the invention,as many changes and modifications tilt through said button, the ends ofthe cord being doubled over the sleeve, and thread portions of saidcord, whereby the latter is Wound about the overlapped portions of said10 materially stiffened. cord, whereby the latter is materially 5 2.
